For reference, it is in
src/rpc/virnetsocket.c:virNetSocketNewConnectSSH(), as:

    virBufferEscapeShell(&buf, netcat);
    if (virBufferCheckError(&buf) < 0) {
        virCommandFree(cmd);
        return -1;
    }
    quoted = virBufferContentAndReset(&buf);
    /*
     * This ugly thing is a shell script to detect availability of
     * the -q option for 'nc': debian and suse based distros need this
     * flag to ensure the remote nc will exit on EOF, so it will go away
     * when we close the connection tunnel. If it doesn't go away,
subsequent
     * connection attempts will hang.
     *
     * Fedora's 'nc' doesn't have this option, and defaults to the desired
     * behavior.
     */
    virCommandAddArgFormat(cmd,
         "'if '%s' -q 2>&1 | grep \"requires an argument\" >/dev/null
2>&1; then "
             "ARG=-q0;"
         "else "
             "ARG=;"
         "fi;"
         "'%s' $ARG -U %s'",
         quoted, quoted, path);
